Hi,

when using cuda 9 nvprof with an openacc executable, the executable hangs.

The scenario resulting in the hang is as follows:
1. goacc_lazy_initialize calls gomp_mutex_lock (&acc_device_lock)
2. goacc_lazy_initialize calls acc_init_1
3. acc_init_1 calls goacc_profiling_dispatch (&prof_info,
    &device_init_event_info, &api_info);
4. goacc_profiling_dispatch calls the registered callback in the cuda
    profiling library
5. the registered call back calls acc_get_device_type
6. acc_get_device_type calls gomp_mutex_lock (&acc_device_lock)
7. The lock is not recursive, so we have deadlock

The registered callback in cuda 8 does not call acc_get_device_type, so 
the hang doesn't occur there.

This patch fixes the hang by detecting in acc_get_device_type that the 
calling thread is a thread that is currently initializing the openacc 
part of the libgomp library, and returning acc_device_none, which is a 
legal value given that the openacc standard states "If the device type 
has not yet been selected, the value acc_device_none may be returned".

Committed to og7 branch.

Thanks,
- Tom

Fix hang when running oacc exec with CUDA 9.0 nvprof

2018-02-15  Tom de Vries  <tom@codesourcery.com>

	* oacc-init.c (acc_init_state_lock, acc_init_state, acc_init_thread):
	New variable.
	(acc_init_1): Set acc_init_thread to pthread_self ().  Set
	acc_init_state to initializing at the start, and to initialized at the
	end.
	(self_initializing_p): New function.
	(acc_get_device_type): Return acc_device_none if called by thread that
	is currently executing acc_init_1.
